The Spiritual Master is one who is the living, breathing, teaching, guiding manifestation and embodiment of God (Brahmacarya). All that he teaches is known because he lives that life effortlessly. He is the embodiment of God becasue he too (in a previous birth) went from a state of dillusion and ignorance; And now he knows the way and is able to lead others through the dark night of the soul and over and across the ocean of sin: culminating in eternal bliss (Nithyananda). He will end the dullness and dillusion of your being with a few words. He can break your entire veil of ignorance with a glance of the eye or a mere touch of his hand. His presence alone can wash away millions of sins to those that are receptive to the grace of God.
His actions and deeds are easy, comfortable and effortless. He will correct your ways with a firm hand. His words are never wasted. He knows precisely when to console you like a loving mother and when to discipline and guide you firmly like a father. He knows when to be your sibling; and also he knows when to be a jolly and caring friend to you. And with all these respects, he knows precisely when to leave you alone in your solitude and guide you from his heart to your heart in secret. Like God, He will give you tools to help you clear your karmas then send you fierce tests to strengthen you and enliven your soul.
He can transmit knowledge with a loving smile. He can also unlock your potential as a person through your undying devotion to Him alone without doubt. With your devotion, He can heal you because he knows the inner workings of your heart. He can raise your consciousness, vibration and way of living up to his level and even beyond: all the way up to the level of a "Living Deity." A living Saint and Rishi, the Supreme Master (God) comes through him as your saviour and salvation.
Love, Light and Bliss...

VEHICLE IN MEDITATION: GETTING GOD
What is that vehicle (yaana) that aids your meditation?
Please know, that the vehicle itself is able to take you directly to God because it has been to the destination many times before. You are not the driver; you are the passenger. The vehicle is also God. Yes, God takes you to God.
Saints and Rishis say, it is by the grace of your Spiritual Master that you will attain God; only he can take you to God because the Supreme Master is already flowing through him. Only he that has God in him can take, even a fool, to God: the Supreme Master. He knows how to take you across the ocean of sin, through the darkness of the Soul and beyond external perceptions in order to know God. He knows the fountain of bliss from which to drink and absorb. How can one know what to drink of if he has never tasted? The Spiritual Master infinitely drinks from this sacred nectar of God. He will teach you what to feel for and give you the required tools to prepare for your drink; but he cannot drink for you nor catch the nectar for you. So, you must be trusting and devoted to this vehicle (the Spiritual Master). You must trust with every ounce of blood in your body that he knows the path to righteousness and can prepare you for Yoga and God Consciousness (Self-Realization). Not only must you be devoted to your Spiritual Master, but once he gives you glimpses of God (Self-Realization), you must be devoted to that as the Ultimate Supreme Goal. It is as if the Spiritual Master becomes a looking glass for you to peer through; but the Supreme Master is not being shown to you because the Spiritual Master is devoted to your growth. It is because you are devoted to him and, also, to the Supreme Master as the Ultimate Realization of Self and Goal of life, equally. Devotion is key: for first the meditation and then for Self-Realization. Nothing is possible without it.
A real, living Spiritual Master is necessary to meditate and achieve the goal.
Even if a man be born with expanded consciousness and has taken birth as a Jivanmukta (liberated soul), the Spiritual Master is required to show him the way, again and again: otherwise it could be destructive and disasterous along the path to liberation and Self-Realization.
The drinking or absorbing (dhaaya) can only happen upon truly understanding the nature of that nectar(of the thing being absorbed). You must know the taste without doubt. If you have never had apple pie, but you are looking for the best one. How can you know if you don't know what to taste for, what to savor and how to digest easily? One cannot know unless you meet the master of making and eating such. Only the Spiritual Master can teach you of the taste. But in order to be taught this, you must have undying devotion. There can be no doubt in the ability of your Spiritual Master. Doubters go on learning external knowledge. They go on, ignorantly, seeking that which is directly in front of them. Until all doubts are dissipated, the Spiritual Master will not instruct you in the esoteric meanings of the practice: for you will not be able to fully grasp and understand them otherwise. Even if the ocean of bliss is placed directly in front of you, you would not even recognize it to take even a sip, much less drink and absorb.
There is no meditation without a true Spiritual Master to lead you and guide you. And with that, there must be deep devotion to him in order to attain the goal...

WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Meditation itself is a vehicle or a path towards knowing the Self and becoming that essence. It is a means to drink of that "nectar" that will intoxicate a person with supreme knowledge of Self. This is knowledge of God: jumping in wholly and merging with the Ultimate. This is the Philosophy of Philosophies, the Religion of Religions, the God of Gods, The Knowledge of all Knowledge.
The word Dhyanam itself is a composition of root words from the Sanskrit language. The root word Dhaya means drinking, sucking (or taking in) or absorbing. And Yaana means a vehicle of any sort. This term usually refers to a vehicle or means that can take one straight to Self-Realization (God). So the word itself refers to a tool or means that can carry you straight to the Goal: however it is not the Goal, itself.
The purpose of this vehicle is to take you beyond perception. God is beyond perception. To perceive is to appropriate understanding. Can God be limited to external, material understandings? No...So God (knowledge of Self) is Beyond all external perceptions: not even a book can give you access to this knowledge.
What makes the vehicle viable and fit to take you to God and fully absorb that? What exactly is this vehicle/means? Can it be attained or brought into life or is it already had? Is it also beyond perception (like God) or does it take you from perceiving to inifinite transcendence? And how? What exactly is that Meditation? What is being Meditated upon? And what or who is the Meditator?
These are all things to think deeply about. Before one can even begin to think about taking on Meditation, it must be understood what it is you are trying to gain. Allow the curiousities to rise. Allow your interest to flourish about this meditation.
Please reflect deeply on the above. There will be more information to follow.
